Start To Finish Father-and-Son Bullitt Build

1/1710/2010 Kurt found a ’68 Mustang that met his budget, and while it looks good in this shot, it hides quite a bit of rust and neglect.

Pat Flaherty and his son, Kurt, are Power Tour® veterans, which is where their love of fastback Mustangs sprouted. They were both fans of 1969 fastbacks in particular, but after watching Bullitt, the two decided that a Highland Green 1968 fastback was the only way to go. They have been chronicling the restoration of their Mustang on the HOTROD.com forums since November 2010, showing every part of their impressive craftsmanship. The goal is to drive the car in the ’13 Power Tour®, so if you see the car on the road and wonder how they got it looking so good, ask the two proud builders who will be behind the wheel.

17/1701/2013 OK, we fast-forwarded quite a bit, but there was just no way to show all the cool details of the build, including the Dynamat that was installed before the new interior went in.
